All this and more awaits at Flat 1B.

The Romans were initially drawn to Buxton because of its eight thermal springs, which bubble with blue water at a constant 28 degrees centigrade. The Palladian splendour of modern-day Buxton, however, was commissioned by successive Dukes of Devonshire in the 18th and 19th centuries. This included the majestic semi-circular Crescent, the Great Stable, Hall Bank, The Square, the Pavilion Gardens, and the Opera House. The Opera House's year-round schedule and annual events in music and the arts continue to draw crowds to these beautiful buildings and gardens. Bakewell, Ashford-in-the-Water, Castleton, and Edale are just a few of the lovely towns and villages strewn around the area, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking in the nearby harsh peaks to the north and pleasant hills and dales to the south. Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, two magnificent mansions, are within driving distance and should not be missed. An ideal location from which to discover the Peak District.
